Between being placed in foster care and being adopted by an all-white low-income family at 14, he overcame many challenges and made the varsity football team. By 25, he was on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster and had a beautiful wife, a son, and an even brighter future. Or so he thought... In this conversation, Anthony shares how shifting his ideal identity is the only way that he's been able to achieve success in his career. We discuss:- How being able to adapt quickly can enhance your life.- How to handle a bad day.- The clarity that defining your priorities brings and why it's a significant energy saver!- Why you must set your own scale to define your life's success.Also, I'm hosting a free workshop to show you how to coach yourself through life's challenges.

You start to feel lazy and unmotivated because you lack the grit and self-discipline to see anything through to the end. Often we lack the motivation to do what success demands of us because we don’t have an identity that aligns with the outcome we say we want. Our poor habits and inability to show up consistently to create the outcome and experience we say we want creates a greater distance between where we are and where we want to go.Anthony Trucks started with an enormous gap between the 3 year old that entered the foster care system, the teenager they called “Butterfingers,” and the NFL player turned motivational speaker, bestselling author, life coach and podcast host. He advocates the value of hard work and suffering that creates experiences, opportunities and outcomes that make it possible to build a new identity. He helps people learn and do what it takes to shift their identity.In this episode, we’re deep diving into 3 skills Anthony believes will help you avoid being lazy and learn to stay motivated and take action even when you don’t think it’s possible.SHOW NOTES:0:00 | Introduction to Anthony Trucks0:08 | Create an Internal Structure11:32 | Shift Your Identity26:24 | Commit to Do What Is Hard42:09 | Work in the Dark, Shine Brighter55:53 | Rebuilding a Failed MarriageQUOTES:“I like the idea that perspective precedes enlightenment.” [1:33]“It’s interesting how people with the most idotic views can frame them so eloquently now.” [3:40]“People don’t understand that you can entertain an idea without adopting it.” [10:37]“I believed the fact that if I did nothing, then nothing would get better.” [15:19]“I get the desire to want to feel good in your own skin, but the solution isn’t to avoid the fact that you don’t feel that great.” [19:15]“One of the problems we have in society now is that we coddle kids and we rob them of their hardships.” [32:40]“I’d done too much work in the dark for you to take what’s mine in the light.” [42:42]“A lot of people are trying to shine in the light without having done that dark work.” [44:51]“You are what you consistently do.” [45:18]“I craft a specific experience for myself because I have to experience something to rewire it.” [49:29]Follow Anthony Trucks:Website: https://anthonytrucks.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/anthonytrucks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnthonyTrucks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthonytrucks/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/anthonytrucks

Anthony Trucks is a former UO football player, NFL Athlete, American Ninja Warrior on NBC, international speaker, host of the Aww Shift podcast, and the founder of Identity Shift coaching. Top 3 Value Bombs: 1. There’s a gap between who you are and who you need to be to have what you want to have. If your identity does not match the dream, you don’t get the dream. 2. You have to be able to do things in the dark without positive public celebration. It has connection to being happy that only you know when you did the dark work. 3. With beliefs so high, and thoughts trained in a positive manner, mindset is powerful. With both is in place, it’s amazing. If one is in opposition with the other, mindset will fall apart.

On top of that, half of our homeless population are foster kids because they've aged out of the system. Less than 1%  have ever graduated from college.” “There's a level of investment as a human that creates a different return that most people do not understand until they've gotten to it.” "The truth of how we operate as humans is we lose sight of what's important… we've never been the fruit, we've always been the tree.” “Identity is who you are being when you're not paying attention to who you are being. It's just my natural state of flow.” “It's hard to see the label when you're inside of the jar. We don't really see who we are and there are people above us that do see it. And some people don't want to see it because their ego might get poked."

Anthony Trucks is a former NFL Athlete, American Ninja Warrior on NBC, international speaker, host of the Aww Shift podcast, and the founder of Identity Shift coaching. He uses cutting-edge science and psychology to upgrade how you operate so you can elevate your life and business to reach your full potential. After being given away into foster care at three years old, being adopted into an all-white family at 14, losing his NFL career to injury, and more he learned how to shift at a very young age, and now his life mission is teaching others how to Make Shift Happen in their lives. Anthony will be the closing keynote speaker at the In2Risk event this November in San Francisco. He has joined the podcast today to address major life challenges — how to overcome them and how to shift when things get crazy. Key Takeaways Anthony shares the early childhood experiences that led him to make shift happen. Ownership is the first step to making true change — Anthony asked himself what he personally had control over and could shift to take control of his life. The process of effecting real change starts with embracing the discomfort. Consistently returning to the difficult, over time, transitions it into your new normal. “Embracing the suck” transforms the drive that will help anyone make lasting change. There is a space where you can exist without the anxiety or fear of a certain trajectory toward a death pit. Ask yourself about the work that you are doing — is this the right time to do it? Is this the right amount of time spent on it? Can I leave work at work? Anthony wants listeners to fall in love with your day, not just your destination. Progress happens when we stretch for more while still keeping a good rhythm in life. The core habits that help Anthony make shift happen include effective planning, pausing before saying yes, and maintaining a daily schedule. Creating boundaries with phone calls, texts, and emails will allow you to accomplish your high-priority tasks first. Five minutes of focus time is all you need to lean into productive flow. Avoiding distraction starts by taking yourself off-line to counteract your brain’s desire for a dopamine hit. Anthony shares some of the major risk-taking moves in his career that paid off, and some that didn’t. What will the future have to offer for those who want to make shift happen in their lives? Insights from Anthony’s time as the first former NFL athlete on American Ninja Warrior. Anthony reveals what he wishes he had known at the beginning of his journey. Keep Getting Better Anthony Trucks IN2Risk 2022 Quotes “Eventually there’s a journey that takes place where this thing that you hated to do becomes something that you identify with now.” “We all know what we want, but for some reason, there’s not enough of a drive.” “I have to fall in love with the day, not just the destination.” “I can still stretch for more while keeping a good, enjoyable rhythm in my life.” “Being able to put boundaries … is paramount to your success.” “People who can execute and execute consistently, I believe, have the greatest upside.” “I want the opportunity in the moment where no one else sees it.”
